Abstract: Described is a system that may search for content items in response to a voice-based natural language query. The system may provide search results for content associated with various types of user actions such as sending or receiving a document, sharing a content, printing a document, etc. For example, the system may provide search results to a query such as “Show me the last spreadsheet I sent to Bill,” or “Find all emails from Bill in April.” In addition, the system may search for content associated with a particular application. For example, the user may provide a search query including “Open my ‘NewApp’ documents.” Accordingly, one or more aspects of the system may provide an intuitive search mechanism for content by allowing a user to provide natural language search queries.
